Look: I Found Some Tea!

(Why do PhotoBooth photos come out backwards? Hmmmmm?)

I wrote a while back--a long while back, I think--about how I like genmaicha tea, with its flavor of rice that's like a vegetarian hit of chicken broth. Without the ickiness of chicken or the weird concept of "broth," which creeps me out ("broth--the rinse water of dead animal parts" is where I go in my head with that).

Anyway, I finally found this, which is WAY more affordable than the stuff I found previously and way, WAY more affordable than my first taste of this in Seattle, where I got a tiny, tiny, teeninsy little ziplock bag of it for $5. I mean, like two cups, maybe.

So here's the link to Yamamotoyama (and if you don't have fun saying that over and over, I don't know what to tell you) Genmai Cha Tea, 90 bags for $14. That's a great deal on this tea, from all I've been able to find out. AND:  it's in bags, which is easier and less messy, and it tastes great--it's my favorite.

So there you go. No one paid me to say nice things about this tea. Heck, I can't even read most of the packaging, which I assume is in Japanese. It may say "Tea made from Nasty Weeds and Lawn Clippings with Super Secret Japanese Spices to Make Westerners Think It's Something Special."

Works for me.
